Snow falls from the sky sticking to the ground. Decorations stand about on people's homes. Ah yes, this is the sight of Christmas. The joyful time where children spend time with their families opening gifts. Unfortunately, I am not able to do so. Me, Naruto Uzumaki at age 17, doesn't have any family to spend this what is supposed to be a joyful day with. I don't know my parents because they died when i was young. So I live in a small apartment barely making the rent with a part-time job I manage to fit in with school. It's a good thing that this is the last year of high school, 12th grade.
Waking up to the sound of my phone ringing i flip it open to find a text from my best friend, Kiba. "Merry Christmas, don't forget to come to the get together."
Oh yeah, how could i forget about that. Just a few days ago at school the pink-headed girl Sakura-chan invited a few people to a small get together for Christmas. Look at the clock it reads 7:00am. Ugh Kiba why do you have to get up early.
Walking up the stairs to Sakura's home i hesitantly knock. "Coming!" a voice calls. The door slides open and a head peaks through. "Oh hey Naruto, come in." she says sternly. What was she expecting? Oh right she was probably hoping it would be Sasuke Uchiha, the boy she has had a crush on since grade school.
stepping inside i am striked by the smell of a variety of sweets. "whats that smell?" I take off my shoes and set it on the mat in front of the door.
"Oh, I am baking cookies and i have made hot chocolate." Says Sakura not even attempting to look at Naruto. Hmm, guess I am the first one here. Dammit Kiba why did you have to wake me up so early. 'knock knock'
"coming!" Sakura runs across the living room to the door. "Hi! Come in! Sit sit. I'll get you something to drink." Of course I didn't get a greeting like that who could it be Sasuke?. A raven haired male steps through the doorway. I spoke too soon.
"Hey dobe." The raven hair boy says. A smirk grows on Sasuke's lips.
"I am not a dobe, dobe!"
"Sure you're not..."
"Naruto can you stop making a fuss." Sakura says with a glare. Humph, of course the blame is put on me.
A/N: I know it was short but i'll post the rest tomorrow because I am very tired at the moment. Hah, it's kind of perfect sense tomorrow is Christmas.
